A Perfect World? So why do we cry?

Isn't it just a fugitive who was on the run, an 8-year-old boy was taken as a hostage, and finally the fugitive was killed and the hostage was rescued, what a perfect ending. . . What are you crying for?
Probably we are all in love.
We come into this world alone, longing to be understood and loved, and so does Butch. But no one loves him. His father abandoned him, his mother died, and he was sentenced to a 4-year felony for stealing a car for a ride, serving his sentence in a hellish teenage school.
But he was still in love. He gave Philip so much joy, understanding and protection. Nor did he hate his father, Alaska was the only message his father had left him, and he was going there. How happy he was with the friendly black family, dancing with the hostess and somersaults with the kids.
I cry because Butch has paid off the world. He killed two people, but he also got two bullets. But this perfect world owes Butch, how can it be returned to him?
